how can i grow cuttings.?

Answer 1

It depends on the plant.
They sell something called root starter at most places that sell plants. You can put your clipping in water w/ some of this stuff until you see roots, and then plant.
A lot of plants where I live (S.; Florida) start by just clipping a piece of live plant and sticking it in the ground! Not all work that way, though.
Good luck!
happy planting!

Answer 2

Cttings can be grown several ways. Put a stem w/leaves into a glass of water and set in a sunny location until lots of roots appear.
Directly plant a stem w/leaves into 2-3" of dirt and pack down the dirt. Water well but don't overwater.
African Violets do well with a piece of foil placed over the top of a glass of water. Puncture a hole in the middle and then insert a complete stem with leaf. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Cuttings from what?
Some thing ya can just stick in water on the window sill.
You can get a rooting hormone at most garden supply stores that works on almost every thing.

When I was in horticultural school we used the book "Plant Propagation.....Principles and practices...by Hartmann, Kester, and Davies" published by Princeton Hall......if you want to, feel free to email me and tell me what you want to propogate and I can tell you how to root, cut, etc. them properly...I love gardening and propogation is my favorite thing AND I DON'T HAVE A GREENHOUSE..........this book is very pricey
